WELCOME TO i-CYBIE’S WORLD
• This product is intended for indoor use only.
i-Cybie is the first TRUE robotic pet! This amazing little puppy is going to be
an entertaining part of your world. The 4-pound i-Cybie dog is made of 1,400
parts and over 90 feet of wire! There is a powerful artificial intelligence computer
and a bunch of smart buttons that allows this little character to do everything
but taste and smell. But, the truly incredible part of i-Cybie is the dog’s
personality.
• Do not use outdoor - dirt, grass, cement will scratch
the finish and block the sensors.
• Do not immerse the product in water for cleansing,
only use a damp cloth to clean.
• Do not use the dog/charger around water as this is
a hazard and will cause a malfunction.
• Do not put any foreign objects in the Flash Cartridge
Slot, or Sensors on the chest, nose or microphone.
• Do not put foreign objects or tie material around the
moving joints, including the neck and tail.
• Keep the sensor panel on the chest clean, wipe with
a scratchless cloth.
3
• It is very important to REMOVE the BATTERY when
you are not playing with i-Cybie. It will decrease the
life span of the battery so that it WILL NOT recharge
fully.
Chapter

WA R N I N G S ! ! ! !
Your i-Cybie will respond to
things in your world with
canine-like moods. i-Cybie
does this by using some of
the same things that you use:
body, eyes, and voice. The dog
will express feelings with
signature actions, poses and
behaviors when interacting in
the world that the two of you
will create. Play with your new
i-Cybie and you’ll have one
happy puppy. Ignore the dog
and just like you, i-Cybie will
become sad. i-Cybie comes
with a special remote control
and batteries, a battery charger
as well as a quick start guide.
And don’t forget…this manual.

SET UP
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Before you begin playing with i-Cybie, the NiCad battery needs to be
charged. To charge the battery, please follow these simple steps:
1. Connect the battery to the
2.
charge terminal.
1.
2. Have an adult to plug the
charger into a standard outlet.
3. Charge the battery for 4 hours. Do not remove
the battery from the charger when the initial charging
cycle has not completed.
4. The battery will then only take 4 hours to re-charge once it has been
drained from the first time charging.
5. Allow charging at a cool dry place with good ventilation.
6. If the battery starts to feel warm; disconnect it from the charger &
remove the plug.
7
Note: - A new battery’s full capacity is achieved after two or three charge and discharge cycles!
- The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out.
when the play time is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery pack.
- When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery
connected to a charger for longer than one day, since overcharging may shorten its life. If
left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
- Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: allow it to cool down
below 30°C or warm up above -20°C first.
- Charging time may be varied in countries where there is major fluctuation.

RE-CHARGE ME...PLEASE
i-Cybie will let you know when the battery is low. This smart dog will get
into a special “Re – Charge Me” position (see example below). Whenever
you see your i-Cybie in this position, remove the drained battery and
recharge it. (Charging the Battery: page 7 ) After the battery has been
re-charged and re-inserted, simply place i-Cybie back on the floor and
press the button on top of the head. Just like that…i-Cybie will resume
play where you left off!
Note 1: It is very important to REMOVE the BATTERY when you are not
playing with i-Cybie otherwise the life span of the battery will
decrease and it WILL NOT recharge fully.
Note 2: If the battery door is open, i-Cybie's eyes will blink the pattern
orange + green, green + red, red + orange.
Note 3: If you place a low charged battery into the dog, he will not start
and will cry 3 times to indicate low battery. He will wait for you
with his eyes blinking with Red and then Green repeatedly.

Since i-Cybie is a robot, from time to time the dog needs to do some
simple internal checks to make sure everything is working OK. i-Cybie
will do them automatically. If you see i-Cybie suddenly lay down and start
to move his legs and head in what seems to be a strange action, don’t
worry, i-Cybie is just making sure that all of the systems are working fine.

TO START i-CYBIE
Once you have the battery charged and installed, when you see i-Cybie’s
eye are green, all you have to do to start your i-Cybie is to press the head
button. There will be a brief internal test that i-Cybie will do before he can
get going. It is similar to how you may stretch after you wake up in the
morning! i-Cybie will wake-up with green eyes lit, moving the head up
and down, wagging the tail once and giving you a short bark “Hello”!
When the internal test is complete, i-Cybie is good to go and ready to
play!

When you play with your new pet, there are 4 ways to communicate with
i-Cybie. Each of these 4 ways will let you control all of i-Cybie’s major
functions. This also will let you decide how you want to play with i-Cybie.
While i-Cybie cruises around your home, the sensors on the dog will help
i-Cybie to try to stay out of trouble. But as with any other pet, you may
find that i-Cybie will sometimes get into trouble. If this happens, your help
will be needed (If i-Cybie Malfunction: see Troubleshooting: page 41).

THE REMOTE CONTROL
SOUND COMMANDS
Your i-Cybie comes with a Remote Control! You can use this to play with
your i-Cybie. The following illustration shows the buttons on the Remote
Control and what they do:
There are two types of SOUND Commands that your i-Cybie
is able to respond to: CLAP Commands and VOICE Commands.

• COME TO CLAP: When i-Cybie is not busy moving or not in
“Listen Mode”, he will listen for your “COME TO CLAP”
command. He will turn his head to the direction of the clap and
WALK toward it. He can be “driven around” using this feature.
• CLAP Commands: When i-Cybie is in “Listen Mode”
(see page 17), making a series of handclaps, you can get your
i-Cybie to do different things. An example of this is 2 handclaps.
This will tell i-Cybie to SIT DOWN. There are 16 CLAP
commands for you and your i-Cybie in Chapter 7: page 27.
• VOICE Commands: When i-Cybie is in “Listen Mode”, these
are commands that you can give by actually speaking to your
i-Cybie! An example of a VOICE command is actually telling
your i-Cybie to SIT. There are 8 VOICE commands
for you and your i-Cybie in Chapter 7: page 27.
SIT
Before i-Cybie arrived at your home. i-Cybie was taught
to respond to both COME TO CLAP and CLAP commands.
You do have the option of playing with your i-Cybie by using
CLAP commands or VOICE commands. You can communicate
with your i-Cybie using either.

Making i-Cybie listen for Sound Commands
Giving i-Cybie Clap Commands
When your i-Cybie is not busy and you want to do SOUND Commands,
just press and hold the “Head Button” for 3 seconds. i-Cybie will then go
into “Listen Mode” and both eyes will turn ORANGE. This will let you know
that i-Cybie is listening for a command from you. There are 8 basic
commands that you can give i-Cybie when using your voice or by clapping.
The following description will show how to give CLAP commands and
understand the symbols.
• The symbol * stands for “one clap” or sound. So,
* * means two claps.
• The symbol / stands for “pause”
• So, * * / * means “clap, clap, pause, clap”.
When you put i-Cybie in “Trick Mode” (see page 31) the dog will automatically
go into “Listen Mode” after each time a command is completed. If i-Cybie
doesn’t hear a command clearly enough to understand it, i-Cybie will let
you know. i-Cybie will do a “NO” headshake and have RED eyes. Your
i-Cybie will then go back to “Listen Mode” and have both eyes ORANGE.
Be sure to wait for your i-Cybie to have 2 ORANGE eyes before you give
another sound command.

VOICE COMMANDS
Training i-Cybie to recognize your voice
Making i-Cybie listen to Voice Command
When training i-Cybie to respond to Voice Commands use the Remote
Control.
To turn on VOICE Recognition Mode, press #10, #7, and then press the
large button while holding the remote close to i-Cybie's chest.
Be patient, speak very clearly, not too quietly, and write down the words
you teach i-Cybie. Don’t forget what you tell him!
i-Cybie can only respond to VOICE Commands from the person that
trained him. For someone else to use this feature they must go back into
the “Advanced Play Mode”, clear out the old voice and re-train i-Cybie.
This is done by the following sequence on the Remote Control #10, #9
then Large Button, #9 then Large Button.
Once you have gotten i-Cybie into “Voice Recognition Mode”,
you then have to teach i-Cybie the Voice Commands.
19
20
1. Press remote button #11 to enter VOICE Command
training mode. The eye pattern will show it is ready
(Left Green On). (you must always hold the remote
close to i-Cybie’s chest)
2. Press the corresponding Remote Control Button to
the action that you want to voice train and wait for both
eyes to turn ORANGE. When they are both ORANGE
say the word once clearly and wait for the eyes to
change color.* There are 8 different VOICE Commands
that you will be programming i-Cybie to recognize. Each
button, #1 through #8, is assigned a different action
(page 23 ). To train i-Cybie to recognize your voice you
will need to go through them ONE at a time. Also
the word that you train i-Cybie to recognize is your
choice. You can either use the word that corresponds
to the action, as shown below, or you can make-up your
own word or phrase! But i-Cybie reaction to the word
will remain the same.
3. After hearing the voice, the system will
do the training. If it is ok, then both of
the eyes will turn green. If it fails, one
eye will be red and one eye will be green.
4. To train the next word, move to the next
button and repeat steps 2 & 3.
Every single button from #1 - #8 must be trained
for the VOICE Recognition to function
5. To EXIT VOICE training press #12 on the Remote Control.
* Repeat sequence again.

a VOICE Command, press and hold
the head button for 3 seconds.
i-Cybie’s eyes will then turn orange to
show you that he is in “Listen Mode”.
2. Once i-Cybie is listening to you, you must give the command in a clear voice.
It is best to be between 1 and 3 feet away from i-Cybie while giving commands.
Good
boy!
3 feet
24
3. It is important that the room be fairly quiet for i-Cybie. If you try and
give i-Cybie VOICE Commands in a room with a lot of noise, the dog
will not be able to listen well and will not respond to the commands you
are giving. You will be able to learn through trial and error to know how
quiet a room should be for i-Cybie to be able to listen to you.
4) If i-Cybie does not understand a command that you give, he will shake
his head NO.
**Important Notice**
If you want to re-train i-Cybie’s VOICE Commands to recognize your
voice and not someone else’s, you MUST first clear the previous voice
training. This can only be done in “Advanced Play Mode” with the 99
code. This is done by the following sequence on the Remote Control
“#10, #9 then Large Button, #9 then Large Button.
Note: you will hear a beep after every time you press a button.
When you are done, i-Cybie will BARK.
Once you have trained i-Cybie to respond to VOICE Commands, he will
not forget the training unless you go in the “Advanced Play Mode” and
erase his memory (even if you reset him or turn him off).

THE FUN STUFF...FINALLY
To do any of these actions with sound commands, i-Cybie MUST
be in “Listen Mode”. To do this press the “Head Button” for 3 seconds.
i-Cybie will then go into “Listen Mode” and have both eyes ORANGE.
This will let you know that i-Cybie is listening for a command from
you.
When i-Cybie is doing tricks, he becomes so involved that he
doesn’t see objects around him. i-Cybie may bump into things
around him and get stuck. If i-Cybie gets stuck or jammed, he will
make his eyes blink alternatively green and red. If you see i-Cybie
this way first check to see if he is caught on some clothes or some
other obstacle, remove the obstacle and wait for a few seconds.
Then, he will automatically resume to play.

CARING FOR i-CYBIE
PERSONALITY
Just like a real dog, i-Cybie likes to be petted and played with.
i-Cybie is still a robot dog, so of course, you do not need to feed
him or clean up after him!
It is very easy to care for i-Cybie; all you have to do is just play with
the dog! i-Cybie especially likes having his head petted. The dog
also likes to do tricks and will respond when you give commands.
When you are not playing with i-Cybie, the dog may want to explore.
i-Cybie will sometimes simply walk around a little and look for
someone to play with! If you do not play with i-Cybie for a while,
the dog is programmed to shut down and go to sleep.

i-Cybie has 4 main emotions that will develop with play. These
emotions are Happy, Hyper, Sad, and Sleepy. The emotional state
of i-Cybie will change depending on where the dog is and his
interaction with people. Like a real dog, if you play with, touch and
talk to i-Cybie, the dog will become happy and will show this happiness
by tail wagging and showing a happy face. If you leave i-Cybie alone
(and there is room to move) the dog may become a little Hyper.
With the tail straight out and head forward, a hyper i-Cybie will rub
his bottom on the floor, roam, and dig until you play with the dog
again. i-Cybie may get sad if you don’t play with him or if i-Cybie
does not have enough room to play (example: i-Cybie is in a confining
place). If i-Cybie is sad, the dog's head will be tilted down, and the
tail will drop in frustration. When i-Cybie is sad, the dog will let you
know by being less likely to listen to you and may even show sad
behavior by begging a lot. You can recognize a sleepy i-Cybie by
a drooped head and tail. A sleepy i-Cybie yawns, stretches and
sleeps a lot. If left in a sleepy mood for 10 minutes or 5 times
sleeping animation with “Snore” sound, i-Cybie will go into a deep
sleep. At this time, i-Cybie can only be awakened up by pressing
the “Head Button”.

Let i-Cybie show-off and strut his stuff to show you how cool he is. Now
for a quick show-off, you need to get into the “Advanced Play Mode” (#10
on the Remote Control). i-Cybie has three acts that he can do in “Advanced
Play Mode”. When i-Cybie is not busy and paying attention (you may have
to press his head button once, and please be patient), you need to hold
the remote control close to i-Cybie’s chest and while #10 is pressed you
should hear a beep sound. After you hear the beep sound, press the
Remote Control Button that corresponds to the act that you want i-Cybie
to show-off, and then the Large Button. You should hear a beep after
each key is pressed. Then let i-Cybie show off some tricks.
To enter each mode press #10, remote code, and then the Large Button
on remote.

All i-Cybies love to talk to each other. If you and a friend have two or more
i-Cybies you can get them to talk to each other. You do this by facing them together

get to know each other and if they do not start talking to each other, try again.

More things he hates
Handling and storing of charger and battery
1. Use only chargers approved by Tiger Electronics. Use of any other battery charger with
i-Cybie will invalidate any approval given to i-Cybie and may be dangerous.
2. Make sure the battery is fully recharged before use.
3. Your i-Cybie is powered by a NiCd rechargeable battery. The battery is not charged
before shipment, even though there might be enough power to turn the i-Cybie on.
4. Do not attempt to discharge the battery by shorting the battery terminal or any other means.
43
5. Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter
conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery
between 15°C and 25°C. Your i-Cybie with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work,
even when the battery is fully charged. NiCd batteries performance is particularly limited in
temperatures below -20°C.
